️ Summary:
Number 1. A safe and effective fungicide.
Preventing fungal diseases in the yard can be challenging. Especially if the year is particularly hot and damp. Fortunately, you can keep fungus at bay with a few easy measures. In a gallon of warm water, add four tablespoons of baking soda for a simple solution.
Number 2. Natural ant repellent.
The combination of powdered sugar and baking soda makes a lethal bait for ants. Combine the two components and sprinkle them over the ant mounds in equal parts. The ants consume the poison, then return to their nests to spread it and wipe out the ant colony.
Number 4. Boost the life of your compost pile.
One of the most beneficial things you can do for your garden is to begin and maintain your own compost pile. How can I keep it from stinking up the neighborhood and frightening my neighbors?
Number 5. Repel insects that feed on tree sap.
Garden pests like aphids and spider mites are a major pain. As a result, your plants may perish. For instance, these two pests are capable of completely draining the nutrients and water from your plants' leaves.
Number 6. Clean plant leaves.
Photosynthesis is essential for the health and growth of plants. Cleaning the leaves of your houseplants regularly using a sponge or soft cloth moistened with a very weak mix of baking soda and water can help them absorb as much light as possible.
Number 7. An all-natural insecticide.
If you care about the planet, buying chemical pesticides is probably not an option you want to pursue. You obviously don't want insects and other pests devouring your garden, but you also don't want any poison to seep into the soil or be tracked inside.
Number 8. Clean Outdoor Furniture.
Garden furniture made of resin or wood can get dull and worn throughout the course of the summer due to exposure to moisture and ultraviolet light. Refresh your worn-out patio set with a little baking soda. To make a powerful cleaning solution, combine a half cup of baking soda, a tablespoon of dish soap, and a gallon of hot water.
Number 9. Keep cut flowers fresh
You can expect your flowers to eventually die back after you bring them inside. A solution of one tablespoon of baking soda to two gallons of water can help them retain their beauty for much longer. If you give your flowers a new solution every day, you should expect them to last twice as long as before.
Number 10. Plant Fertilizer.
While baking soda alone is ineffective as a fertilizer, it can be combined with other substances to provide a viable alternative. Using only 1 tablespoon of epsom salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a half teaspoon of common ammonia, you can achieve the desired results. Combine this with one gallon of water and stir until completely dissolved. You should irrigate your plants with a mixture of 1/8th to 1/4th of the concentrate and 4 cups of water once a month.
